MUSI 406: COUNTRY MUSIC Instructor: Dan Beller-Mckenna MUSI 406: COUNTRY MUSIC Instructor: Dan Beller-McKenna [email protected] 603-862-1667 Paul Creative Arts Center M-116 Music Department University of New Hampshire 30 Academic Way Durham, NH 03824 Purpose and Description This course surveys the rich musical, cultural, and commercial history of country music in the United States. Since its inception, country music has embodied a tension between tradition and progress. Whereas the industry has consistently highlighted tradition as a value (through lyrical, musical, graphic, and other means), it has nevertheless constantly embraced new technologies in order to maintain market share and commercial viability. Country music thereby reflects a basic feature of the American story, valorizing our history while valuing social and technological development. Throughout the course, we will consider this tension as it affects the musical content and cultural meaning of country music. You will gain a broad knowledge of country music on three levels: 1) Through assigned listening examples and directed listening exercises, you will develop the ability to aurally identify different eras in the history of country music, different sub- styles (western swing, the Nashville Sound, Alt-Country, etc.), and different instruments that are used in the performance of various country music styles. 2) Through powerpoint lectures and reading from a central text and a weekly scholarly essay (a book chapter or journal article), you will learn the important concepts, people, and terminology associated with the musical styles of country music as well as the commercial recording/performing industry that has fostered country music since the 1920s. 3) Through weekly blogs on assigned listening and related material you will synthesize your ability to recognize and analyze the sound of country music with their awareness of the cultural and economic forces that helped determine the style, sound, and form of those recordings. Music 406 fulfills the Fine and Performing Arts category in the Discovery Program. I have selected the content and designed the structure of the course to reflect the goals of Discovery. Among other principles the following statement on disciplinary breadth from the Discovery Web site applies strongly in this course: “Each course in the Discovery Program fulfills an obligation not only to its own field but also to the others that make up the organization of modern knowledge. Courses in the proposed categories introduce students to the primary questions, methods and perspectives of the field or discipline; and they encourage students to understand the connections among different disciplines and fields of study.” Texts and Materials As this course is conducted entirely on-line, you will need reliable access to a computer with broadband or DSL connection. You may also need to download some apps (Java, Shockwave, etc.) to fully engage all of the features of Canvas and streaming media There is a required textbook for the course: Jocelyn Neal, Country Music: A Cultural and Stylistic History. Oxford University Press, ISBN 9780199730599 This book can be purchased in hard copy from Amazon,com, Barnse&Noble.com, or directly from the publisher. Copies may also be available from the Durham Book Exchange and the UNH Bookstore. An ebook is available through redshelf.com. All listening will be available through the course Youtube playlist, and all reading outside the textbook will be available either as pdf files on the Canvas course site or accessible through web links. Some videos will need to be purchased or rented from a vendor like Amazon or Netflix. The movies we will view are: O, Brother, Where Art Thou? May be available on Youtube The Women of Rockabilly: Welcome to the Club Available on Youtube Tender Mercies Not available on Youtube Urban Cowboy Not available on Youtube Requirements General: You should understand that this five-week summer course will cover the same amount of material that would normally be covered in a 15-week semester course. Logistically, therefore, you will be expected to do three times more work in a given week on this course as you would for a semester-long one. Past students’ experiences dictate that it will be very hard to keep up if you are holding down a job or taking another class during the course. Reading/Listening: Each day during the five-week course you are to listen to a brief powerpoint lecture that focuses on the main points from the assigned reading and briefly introduces one or more listening examples mentioned in the text. You will also listen to a selection of related recordings (usually @ eight per day) and read a selection from the textbook. Most weeks there will also be an assigned essay from outside the textbook. Although I have assigned specific pages from the textbook for specific days, there are always one or two days at the ends of weeks with no textbook assignment, and it may be possible to spread your reading throughout the week. Viewing: For each of the first four weeks of the course you will view a movie on a country music theme. When possible, these will be made available through Youtube, but you may need to rent or purchase one or more of these movies. For each movie, I will assign a related reading from outside the textbook Additionally, there will be occasional informational video to watch, also via Youtube. Some of these will be instructional demonstrations of particular instruments or country music styles. Others will be performances that I will discuss in the PowerPoint Lectures. All of the assigned Youtube videos will be made available through the course Youtube playlist. Song Blog-Posts: At least once a week (sometimes twice) you will either choose one of the assigned listening items or find a similar song and write a “blog” of 250-500 words on it. Blogs will take the form of “Replies” to a Discussion thread in Canvas. Additionally, each time you post a blog, you are required to post comments on the posts of two of your classmates. A more complete description of the blog post assignments, how to find non-assigned songs, and how the blogs will be graded is available under Assignments on the Canvas site. Short Paper Assignments: There are two short (2-3 page) papers assigned in the course. These will allow you to apply what you are learning to material not covered in the textbook or other assigned readings, listening, or viewing. You will have the option of taking a final exam in place of the second paper. Exams: There will be a “mid-term” and a final exam, both to be taken on line. These will include a mixture of short identifications, listening tasks (identifying style traits, etc.), and essays. You will have the option of writing a second paper in place of the final exam. Grading Exams 40% Blog Posts 30% Short Papers 30% Course Structure Canvas (mycourses.unh.edu) is the learning management tool we use for this course. The course is online and asynchronous, and it is organized by modules. My Schedule I will be active in the Canvas class area daily, Monday through Friday. I login early in the morning and again in the evening. If you post a question for me in a Forum on a weekday, anticipate a response within twelve hours. On Weekends, I may not login at a regular time. If you post late on Friday or anytime Saturday, I might not respond until Sunday evening. How to Reach Me: Questions related to the reading, listening, or assignments should first be asked, if possible, in the respective discussion forums. I will, however, try to respond to emails on the same day they are sent. Academic Honesty (from the UNH 2012-13 Handbook on Student Rights, Rules, Responsibilities) Honesty is a core value at the University of New Hampshire. The members of its academic community both require and expect one another to conduct themselves with integrity. This means that each member will adhere to the principles and rules of the University and pursue academic work in a straightforward and truthful manner, free from deception or fraud. Any attempts to deviate from these principles will be construed as acts of academic dishonesty and will be dealt with according to the rules of due process outlined below. The value of honesty and the expectation of conduct that goes with it are intended to reinforce a learning environment where students and faculty can pursue independent work without unnecessary restraints. At the same time, the University recognizes its responsibility to encourage and inculcate values and standards of conduct that will guide its students throughout their careers. For the purposes of this course, please note section 09.1 “Written Classroom Examinations.” UNH Office of Disability Services for Students The University is committed to providing students with documented disabilities equal access to all university programs and facilities. If you think you have a disability requiring accommodations, you must register with Disability Services for Students (DSS). Contact DSS at (603) 862-2607 or [email protected]. If you have received Accommodation Letters for this course from DSS, please provide me with that information so that we can review those accommodations.

  • JAMES RAE “JIM” DENNY (1911-1963) Music Publisher
    JAMES RAE “JIM” DENNY (1911•1963) Music publisher, booking agent, long•time manager of the Grand Ole Opry, and promoter of Nashville’s music industry, was born in Buffalo Valley, Putnam County, TN. As a young man, Denny found work as a mail clerk with the National Life and Accident Insurance Company, parent organization to WSM and the Grand Ole Opry. With growing interest in country music, Denny was running the WSM Artists Service Bureau by 1946, booking Opry talent and other WSM acts. Denny eventually managed the Grand Ole Opry itself. Denny, along with his predecessor, Jack Stapp, is responsible for updating the face of the Opry. As promoters and developers of talent, they helped to transform the Opry from a popular barn dance to a showcase of country superstars, ensuring its growth and long•term success. During their tenure, the cast grew enormously, most major stars became Opry members, and an Opry appearance became a must goal for many performers. In 1954 Denny and Opry star Webb Pierce formed Cedarwood Publishing Company, for a time the most important publishing house in Nashville. Driftwood Music, a companion firm, was a partnership between Denny and Carl Smith, another Opry star. These business interests led to conflict of interest allegations by WSM and eventually Denny’s dismissal. With his knowledge of WSM operations, Denny achieved immediate success as a booking agent. The Jim Denny Bureau served most of the artists Denny had signed while at the Opry. Billboard magazine estimated that, by 1961, the bureau was handling over 3,300 personal appearances worldwide.

  • Outlaws & Armadillos: Country's
    ® COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME AND MUSEUM ANNOUNCES NEXT MAJOR EXHIBITION: OUTLAWS & ARMADILLOS: COUNTRY’S ROARING ’70s The work above is by artist and illustrator Jim Franklin, who created posters for Austin’s Armadillo World Headquarters. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum commissioned the work for its exhibit Outlaws & Armadillos. Nashville, Tenn. – Jan. 11, 2018 – Willie Nelson. Waylon Jennings. Kris Kristofferson. Jessi Colter. Bobby Bare. Jerry Jeff Walker. David Allan Coe. Cowboy Jack Clement. Tom T. Hall. Billy Joe Shaver. Guy Clark. Townes Van Zandt. Tompall Glaser. Today, all names synonymous with the word “outlaw,” but 40 years ago they started a musical revolution by creating music and a culture that shook the status quo on Music Row and cemented their place in country music history and beyond. The Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum's upcoming major exhibition, Outlaws & Armadillos: Country’s Roaring ’70s, will explore this era of cultural and artistic exchange between Nashville, Tenn., and Austin, Texas, revealing untold stories and never-seen artifacts. The exhibition, which opens May 25 for a nearly three-year run, will explore the complicated, surprising relationship between the two cities. While the smooth Nashville Sound of the late 1950s and ’60s was commercially successful, some artists, such as Nelson and Jennings, found the Music Row recording model creatively stifling. By the early 1970s, those artists could envision a music industry in which they would write, sing and produce their own music. At the same time, Austin was gaining national attention as a thriving music center with a countercultural outlook.

Abstract The release of Loretta Lynn‟s 2004 album Van Leer Rose welcomed back after 33 years one of the premier feminist voices in recorded music. The songs that Loretta wrote in 60s and early 70s were some of the most controversial and politically charged to hit the airwaves. They encompassed a microcosm of issues that rural women were facing including the changing sexual roles of women, ideas on marriage, the ravages of war and substance abuse.
